Black and white crazy nine patch















Ages ago I was inspired to make a black and white quilt, so I started collecting the fabrics. I decided to make it in a crazy nine patch with the centre fabric having one contrasting colour - aqua. It is going to be an incredibly busy quilt me thinks. The visual effect reminds me of Bridget Riley's work - a lot of it makes your eyes go funny! It's so fun putting it together (isn't every quilt, that's why I'm addicted!)


And on another note - today I wished I lived in London again...why - look at this upcoming exhibition at the V&A http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/textiles/quilts-1700-2010/.
